Topic: OPNSense 17.1.4 stuck at boot (Read 1285 times)

Hi, my name is Christian,I'm trying to deploy an OPNSense VM on KVM (RHEL 7.2).I tried all the installation supports (VGA, CDROM) both 32 and 64bit but the problem is the same:The boot process stucks after a few seconds with message: "Booting..." as you can see in the screenshot below:

How can I enable debug logs and increase verbosity for the boot?I tried with vSphere 5.5 and VirtualBox and I was able to boot and install OPNSense correctly.Though even if I exported the VM's disk (either in VMDK or VDI format) and converted it in QCOW2 (or RAW), the VM does not boot at all.

Thank you for your reply weust,I tested the same image on vSphere, VirtualBox and KVM.I was able to start OPNSense without problems on vSphere and VirtualBox but the boot procedure hangs on KVM.I also tried to export a working instance of OPNSense from vSphere to KVM in OVA format, but he issue is the same and the System does not boot.

Please consider that i performed my tests in OpenStack, based on RHEL 7.3 hosts.I also tried to boot OPNSense on a RHEL 7.2 KVM hypervisor but the boot process hangs in both cases.I tried to boot different FreeBSD 11 images (QCOW2, CDROM ISO and USB Mem-Stick image) and I did not manage to boot in all the cases.

Are you suggesting me to configure the SERIAL (no VGA) image and try to boot from this source?
